    What is the received wisdom on replacing intercooler hoses? Are the blue silicone jobbies worth the extra £?

    Engine not getting up to temperature.

    My transmission cooler, which is integral to the main coolant radiator, developed a leak about 6 months ago. I couldn't stump up for a new rad at the time so I fitted an aftermarket external transmission cooler up behind the front grill. Since then my gauge stays closer to a 1/4 rather than up...

    As per title. We are sub zero here in the UK. I put my KJ in to full time 4WD to drive home from the pub last night. Bit of a thaw today and went to put it back into 2WD and the lever moves but feels like it is not connected to anything. Its too cold and wet to go crawling underneath today to...

    Autobox cooler pipe connectors?

    Hi. I'm a new owner of a 2005 2.8 CRD in the UK. I'm doing a deep service to give me a solid starting point. The transmission oil cooler lines have some funky connectors to the autobox, one of mine is weeping/leaking. Are these connectors serviceable? The lines are being cut further down in...

    New Member from Great Britain

    Morning Y'all Thanks for having me on board. After a series of Isuzu and Mazda 4x4 I've just become the owner of a 2005 2.8 CRD Auto. It took me 3 months to find an example in the right condition/spec/colour but I'm glad I held out. I live down in the South West on a farm in quite a rural area...
